CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The 3rd annual Cintas & Carhartt Cold Crew contest is
accepting entries through the end of February. One lucky grand prize
winner will enjoy a trip for two to the CMA Music Festival on June 5 –
8, 2014 in Nashville, TN.

Cintas and Carhartt launched the Cold Crew contest in 2011 to recognize
individuals in the U.S. and Canada who withstand the toughest
cold-weather working conditions. Contestants are encouraged to share how
they “Outwork Them All™” and explain why they rely on Carhartt, a brand
designed for hard-working people, to help them get the job done.

Entries are being accepted at http://www.cintas.com/carharttcoldcrew
through Feb. 28, at which time up to ten finalists will be selected.
Online voting during the month of March will determine the grand prize
winner.

“We know that our consumers are huge supporters of country music and we
are excited to offer the CMA Music Festival trip as the Cold Crew grand
prize once again,” says Rick Fecowicz, director of Carhartt Licensing.
“It was extremely popular last year, and we’re honored to acknowledge
hard-working North Americans in this way.”

Previous Cold Crew contests have spurred hundreds of entries from across
the U.S. and Canada. Last year, arborist foreman James Tatem from
Hookset, NH received the most votes and was awarded a trip to the 2013
CMA Music Festival. The 2012 winner was Brooke Boyer, a wastewater
treatment plant supervisor from Mt. Shasta, CA who won a trip to the
STIHL Timbersports Series.

“We look forward to hearing the amazing stories from men and women who
brave extremely brutal working conditions every winter,” says Maureen
Brennan, Assistant Marketing Manager of Uniform Rental at Cintas
Corporation, North America’s largest uniform supplier.
